WOVEN FABRIC.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELLA NEiLsoN GA 1L- LARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have inventcd certain new and useful Improvements in Woven Fabrics; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will en able others skilled in the art to which it appertain's to make and use the Same.

This invention comprehends improvements in woven fabrics andhas for its primary object to provide a strong and durable fabric of this nature which is especially adapted for use as a shoe string, corset lace, et cetera.

Another object of the invention is to provide a narrow woven fabric of non-elastic thread, which shall be so woven as to be able to withstand much wear and still be fine enough to form a shoe string and laces of various kinds.

With these and other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features or construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be fully hereinafter described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the followin description and accompanyingdrawings, in which the figure is an enlarged diagrammatic view, illustrating a cross section of the fabric.

My improved fabric consists of the face warp-threads 1, the back warp-threads 2, face weft-threads 3, back weft-threads 4, gut or stutter warp-threads 5, and binder warp-threads 6. The face and back warp- Specification of Letters Patent.

threads are preferably arranged in opposed sets with four threads in each set. The gutting or stulling warp-threads are interposed between corresponding sets of face and back warp-threads, as clearly shown in the drawings, andthe binder-threads separate each two sets of face and back warp-threads. The weft-threads are interwoven first with the face warp threads and then with the back warp threads, or vice versa. The face weft-threads pass behind the binder-threads and the back weft-threads pass in front of the binder-threads and thus the two plies of the fabric are stitched together.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that I have formed .a novel woven fabric which is suitable for dilferent kinds of laces which will wear very well and which is strong and durable.

Having thus described my invention, I claim A fabric composed of face warp-threads arranged in sets, back warp-threads arranged in sets and opposed to the face warpthreads, stufling warpthreads interposcd'between correspomling sets of face and back warp-threads, face and back weft-threads interwoven first with the face warp threads and then with the back warp threads or vice versa, and binder-threads, the face weft-threads passing behind the binderthread and the back weft-threads passing in front of the binder-threads.

In testimon Y whereof I afiix my signature n presence 0 two witnesses.
